Tuning firm Edo Competition has unveiled their new styling and performance packages for the Ferrari California.

On the performance side, Edo offers an ECU recalibration package which boosts the roadster's output from 460 hp to 500 hp (367 kW) and 369 ft-lb (500 Nm) of torque. When combined with Edo's new high performance exhaust system, with adjustable butterfly valves and custom designed high flow catalytic converters, the Ferrari California rockets from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds before hitting a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).

Other performance options include an adjustable sports suspension, a ride-height reduction kit, and a variety of different wheel and tire combinations available in 20 and 21 inches.

The company also offers a bespoke interior design service which allows customers to create a lavish cockpit that reflects their unique personality.

Press Release (Click to expand)

The Ferrari 599, 612 and 430 have had offspring. The open two-seater, dubbed the California Spider, with its retractable aluminum hard top is the new entry level model among the sports car offerings from Maranello. Having been introduced to the world at the Paris Motor Show last October, the California Spider can now be admired on our roads, too.

For those who wish to further personalize the appearance and performance of this exceptional sports car, edo competition is now offering very special accessories.

Newly-developed wheel/tire sets in 20 and 21 inches are guaranteed to draw amazed looks from passers- by. The wheels are available in several attractive designs. Customers can also opt for a lowered ride height or the addition of a sport suspension system. The sport suspension is adjustable in both compression and rebound damping, allowing for a custom tailored ride for cruising, spirited driving, or competition.

To make sure the performance of a vehicle as special as the California is up to par in all aspects, edo competition also offers custom ECU recalibration. After reprogramming the production ECU, the 8-cylinder engine now generates 367 kW (500HP) and 369 ft-lb of torque at 5,200 rpm. In addition to the recalibrated electronics edo competition can install a newly-developed high performance exhaust system featuring adjustable butterfly valves and custom designed high flow catalytic converters with a 200 cell per square inch metal core.

This well-matched combination enables the engine to develop its new-found power in an impressive manner. The treatment also provides a torque increase that is particularly noticeable in everyday driving. As a result, the performance figures of the edo California Spider are improved as well: It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a phenomenal 3.9 seconds and the top speed is an impressive 315 km/h (196 mph).

As with all edo competition models, we set no limit to our customers’ imaginations. Special interiors or lavish leather upholstery, individual requests are accommodated and executed with quality.

Now that is one hot California, but that interior colour doesn't go with the yellow brake calipers. Still, nice work.

Have seen a California at the dealership here in MA. Extremely japanese looking in my opinion (Lexus IS-F pipes). I'm a Ferrari enthusiast- this one does nothing for me.

Except the IS-F exhausts are fakes, whereas the Ferrari's aren't. Anyway only certain cars can pull off black wheels, this isn't it. IMO the stock standard California is much better looking.

This car looks cheap, even with this version. It's almost a year old now and no one cares about it. LOL

This car looks and performs awesome. Sick car. I dont know what you mean by cheap... It has like the quickest transmission around and has nice powerful NA engine. Even with heavy weight it fly's around the track.

well it looks kinda cheap. Very japanesse, like Toyota or some Infinity. Ferrari badge doesn't make it pretty as some people think - after I put a Toyota instead of a black horse you won't call it a beauty, would you?

And dual clutch transmission isn't something spectacular. It is in the GT-R and what's more it is installed in many cars like Audi or even Skodas for some years now and new M3 as well.

First, the car already has a folding roof, so there is no need to called a spider. Second, the stock version goes from 0-60 mph under 4 secs, so this is kinda stupid by boosting up to 500hp, the only thing they did is just the paint & some new wheels.

I suppose that Ferrari should´ve promoted this car in black,it would´ve attracted more attention and make that butt look smaller. As much as I dislike it in red and that feminine blue, I think it looks quite good in black.But then again, as far as I understand this car is aimed at women, therefore the red and light-blue promotion colors make sense...
